Mukhtaran Mai Women Welfare Organisation chief Mukhtaran Mai gave birth to a baby boy by Caesarian section two weeks prematurely in the central city of Multan, her husband and hospital officials said Monday.
Mai in March 2009 married police constable Nasir Abbas Gabol, who has five children from a previous marriage.
“It is a good news for both of us, I feel happy like any father and I thank Allah that Mai is OK,” he said.
The baby, which is Mai’s first, was born around 4:30 pm on Sunday at the private clinic of Doctor Naseem Akhtar Malik, staff nurse Asma Bibi said.
“The baby weighed 3.8 kg, both mother and child are OK,” she said. The case was complicated because Mai was suffering from hepatitis B, she said.
Gabol, 33, said the baby had not been named. “We will select a name with the consent of our elders when we go back to our village Meeranwala,” he said.
